Automated quantification of axonal growth

Project Description

The aim of this project is to establish a standardized method for measuring cell and axonal growth from spinal cord slice cultures. To measure the area of axons outside the explant body, pictures of spinal cord slice cultures are captured through a light microscope and then analysed in ImageJ and CellProfiler. Our plan is to use this method in future experiments on axonal regeneration and growth from the spinal cord.
